A West Australian mining executive accused of gold theft has told the District Court he was "uncomfortable" transporting Doré bullion on the back seat of his car for his former boss, and said to the jury he tried to keep the revenue off the company's books.
Patrick Rhyan Keogh, 42, the former general manager of gold miner FMR Investments, is one of five people on trial over the alleged theft of 8,465 tonnes of gold-bearing ore from the Greenfields Mill near Coolgardie.
